How about a glass of sparkling wine while watching whales and dolphins?
This formula allows you to live this experience in a more intimate way and in a refined luxury environment.
Our yachts are moored in the port of Calheta and we sail out to meet the local species of cetaceans. Our captain and crew will guide you, assisted by a spotter on-land, strategically positioned on a cliff, equipped with powerful binoculars and in constant communication.
We will choose the safest and most comfortable route according to the weather conditions, so that we can cruise along the coast as well as swim and snorkel, with masks, tubes and fins we provide on-board. On the way back, you can relax and sunbathe on Gringo or Miranda sun-deck, enjoy a fresh drink while sharing your adventure.
Weather permitting, you can even “drive a little” with the captain’s safe and secure guidance.
